Naomi Klein Knihy

„Trump, jakkoli působí jako extrém, nepředstavuje odchylku, ale logické vyústění - koktejl nejhorších trendů posledního půlstoletí,“ říká autorka Naomi Kleinová, která se věnuje studiu obchodních značek, klimatických změn a využívání šoku pro politické účely. Z této perspektivy ukazuje, že Trumpova agenda, reprezentující korporátní vliv na americkou vládu, popírání vědeckých závěrů o klimatu a podporování rasových a náboženských předsudků, je symptomem dlouhodobé krize. Nyní nestačí jen vyjadřovat nesouhlas; je zapotřebí věrohodného „ano“ - plánu na uzdravení rozdělené společnosti a nastavení kurzu k spravedlivějšímu a udržitelnějšímu světu pro všechny. “Nejužitečnější politická kniha letošního roku.” —Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2017 “Skvělá Naomi Kleinová v knize Ne nestačí vyčarovala jiskřivé zaklínadlo proti vládnoucí noční můře, která nás všechny pozře, necháme-li ji volnost.” —Junot Díaz, autor knihy Krátký, leč divuplný život Oskara Wajda “Pokud se divíte, jak mohla Naomi Kleinová po relativně krátké době Trumpova prezidenství zkoncipovat tak zásadní text, je to proto, že se na tento moment připravovala celý svůj intelektuální život. Trump je ultimátní značka. Tato kniha otevírá diskusi o Trumpovi a vede ji k silné pointě.”

In her ground-breaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it "disaster capitalism." Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment" losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. By capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, Klein argues that the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is th

Primární příčinou klimatické krize není zvyšování emisí skleníkových plynů. Je to kapitalismus. Klimatická krize se stala jedním z hlavních témat současnosti. Řešíme ji se stejnou vážností jako zdravotnictví, ekonomiku nebo politické kauzy. Ke zvyšování emisí skleníkových plynů a jejich dnes už velmi reálným následkům však nelze přistupovat jako ke všemu ostatnímu, jako k problému, který lze odstranit pomocí technologií nebo úprav legislativy — jednoduše jako k problému, jenž má systémové řešení. Důvod je prostý: kořenem klimatické krize je totiž sám systém současné civilizace. Bavíme-li se o klimatu, mluvíme o kapitalismu. Máme-li zachránit planetu, bude třeba radikálně proměnit celou globální ekonomiku. Kultovní kniha Tím se všechno mění rozsáhlými rešeršemi, výzkumem a reportážemi dokazuje, že není jiné cesty. Pro Naomi Kleinovou to je důvod k naději a optimismu — kromě záchrany klimatu se s proměnou kapitalismu naskýtá šance také na spravedlivější a spokojenější společnost.

The book that offers a cure for affluenza, 'No Logo' is one of those rare books that defines a generation, the most significant one since Douglas Coupland's 'Generation X'. By the time you're twenty-one, you'll have seen or heard a million advertisements. But you won't be happier for it. This is a book about that much-maligned, much-misunderstood generation coming up behind the slackers, who are being intelligent and active about the world in which they find themselves. It is a world in which all that is 'alternative' is sold, where any innovation or subversion is immediately adopted by un-radical, faceless corporations. But, gradually, tentatively, a new generation is beginning to fight consumerism with its own best weapons; and it is the first skirmishes in this war that this abrasively intelligent book documents brilliantly.

Winner of the 2009 Warwick Prize for Writing In this groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free-market economic revolution, Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. As John Gray wrote in The Guardian, "There are very few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books."

We are in a fight for our lives. Hurricanes Irma and Mar?a unmasked the colonialism we face in Puerto Rico, and the inequality it fosters, creating a fierce humanitarian crisis. Now we must find a path forward to equality and sustainability, a path driven by communities, not investors. And this book explains, with careful and unbiased reporting, only the efforts of our community activists can answer the paramount question: What type of society do we want to become and who is Puerto Rico for? --Carmen Yul?n Cruz, Mayor of San JuanIn the rubble of Hurricane Maria, Puerto Ricans and ultrarich Puertopians are locked in a pitched struggle over how to remake the island. In this vital and startling investigation, bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation's radical, resilient vision for a just recovery.All royalties from the sale of this book in English and Spanish go directly to JunteGente,

Forget everything you think you know about global warming; it's not just about carbon—it's about capitalism. This existential crisis presents an opportunity to transform our failing economic system into something radically better. In her most provocative work, Naomi Klein addresses the profound threat posed by our economic model to life on Earth. She debunks myths clouding the climate debate, revealing that the market won't save us; instead, our addiction to profit and growth deepens the crisis. We have the knowledge to transition away from fossil fuels, but it requires breaking the rules of the "free-market" system by curbing corporate power, rebuilding local economies, and reclaiming our democracies. Contrary to the belief that humanity is too greedy to meet this challenge, inspiring movements worldwide are already paving the way for a new economy. Klein argues that climate change serves as a civilizational wake-up call, expressed through increasingly severe natural disasters. Addressing it means more than simple lifestyle changes; it demands a fundamental transformation of our world before it's irrevocably altered. We face a choice: leap forward or sink further into crisis. Klein's latest work promises to redefine the current era, just as her previous books reshaped discussions on globalization and austerity.

The fight for a green world is the fight of our lives. And with On Fire, Naomi Klein gives us the ammunition to do it. In frank, personal terms, she shows us how the only way forward out of a polluted world of our own making is only through policy reform - a concrete set of actions to combat the mounting threat of total environmental catastrophe. What's needed, she argues, is something with radical verve and guaranteed protections: in other words, a New Deal. On Fire finds Klein at her most canny and prophetic, and the stakes of our imperiled global situation higher than ever before. In wide-ranging essays reporting from varying stages of ecological crisis - from prescient clarion calls from years ago to our panicked present - Klein wakes us up from our environmental sleepwalk and sets us on a course of potent, necessary action.
